Corn used my man-parts as a speedbag.

I like how you immediately followed your accusation of "fallacy" with a false-dilemma.

Hah, you're right, I actually didn't mean to include "all" in there, particularly not without qualifying the former statement with it, either; but it's really quite difficult to talk about a difference in quality of life without adhering to a false-dilemma in respect to typical food options. But regardless, it's the nature of the statements made in generality.

I don't eat all processed foods, I was making the point that while I do eat processed food because it's quicker and convenient, not all processed food is totally bad for you.

:flowerforyou:

Thanks for the flower I was really only trying to say that in general I think eating unprocessed foods are going to be, in the long run, better than processed, but that it's probably not going to have as much of an effect so long as you eat a relatively healthy diet.

Although I always feel better in the immediate when I'm eating unprocessed foods as opposed to eating frozen/canned stuff.

I'm glad you feel better about it. Just to play Devil's advocate, I will point out that some vegetables that are flash-frozen or "processed" on-site retain more nutrients than those that are shipped over long distances. Which is usually the case unless you're buying local produce.

2 weeks is not a plateau.

I have heard this before. I think frozen vegetables taste so much better then canned, and probably have less sodium but I currently don't really have a freezer.
